Because you knew there were conspiracy theories around Irma… "The ominous warning from conservative fire starter Rush Limbaugh was this: Don't trust those meteorologists." Because, apparently, meteorologists are in the pocket of big-media and big-retail, or something. Meanwhile on the other side of the island, "…Alex Jones of Infowars began a segment this week by claiming, 'I’m not saying Irma is geoengineered.'" But it was aliens. Oh wait, that's the other show. Okay Rush and Alex, put your money where your mouth is and go down to Florida (well, Rush is already there), say to one of the Southern and Eastern beaches, and stand there while Irma comes in (or brushes the coast depending on where she turns). Do that. Broadcast live from there and I'll believe you.

For any of my readers along the East Coast, Irma is not a "evacuate if you want" kind of storm. It's a "get the fuck out if you can" storm. Get the fuck out if you can. For South Florida and the Keys, no matter which track Irma heads on, you're screwed. She's a big storm and even if she just goes up the coast, you all are going to be inundated. Unless Houston looked like a load of laughs to you, understand that the Houston level of flooding and damage is going to be the least you'll see. If Irma hits and comes up the peninsula, forecast are for her to be a Level 3 storm when she hits the Georgia line. My suggestion is if you have somewhere West of the Appalachians you can hold up, go there.

I also design t-shirts for friends and colleagues and just to satisfy my own weird sense of the world. Like my Live, Love, Laugh shirt. You can find me at Amazon (limited selection for now) and Spreadshirt (more venues to come).

About Me

I am a writer of Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction. Here you can find some of my thoughts about writing, politics, society, dreams, and anything that comes into my head. Sometimes I drop a Story Bone or two. And then there is the tweeting.

The opinions expressed on this blog are my own and should not be considered the opinions of my employers or clients.

Anything put in a post with the title "Story Bone" is up for grabs. If it sets off a story bomb in your head, go for it. I don't claim any right except to maybe write my own story based on the bone. I haven't researched the bones to make sure I'm not trodding on somebody else's toes so use at your own risk. Think of these as free ideas.
